Government should not be in the business of regulating adult sexual relationships, homo, hetero or otherwise. It doesn’t bother me if some Hellbound fags want to shack up under whatever sort of contract they desire. But there should be no government endorsement of such a relationship, nor should there be a legal re-defining of the word “marriage” to encompass such a thing.
I think when there is a compelling societal interest, they should. A society that abandons the traditional one man, one woman for life marriage idea finds itself slowing rotting away from the insides. We can look at the U.S. and see it for ourselves.
Not the Baptists. In the SBC goes that way, churches will withdraw. If the local church goes that way, members will start a new church.
Baptists won’t have the problems that the Episcopalians do, each church owns its own property and is totally independent of the others and of the convention.
